It is approximately a 90 second walk to the school gate :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-ride-the-bus#post-2154633 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 16:27:54 +0000 PurplePeony 2154633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live close enough that she'll walk or we'll drop her off for elementary and middle school. Not sure what we'll do about high school, the kids have to take the city buses and it's stupidly inefficient to get from our neighborhood to the school. And I don't particularly care for the high school we're zoned for so we might look into other options, but who knows how things will change by the time DD is in HS... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-ride-the-bus#post-2154632 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 16:27:40 +0000 Bluebonnet 2154632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our elementary school is in our neighborhood, so we'll walk to school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-ride-the-bus#post-2154630 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 16:26:50 +0000 lilteacherbee 2154630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, my sister is a teacher at the school where our kids will go. It's only 5 mins away, so I think we'll probably take them or my sister will bring them with her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-ride-the-bus#post-2154627 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 16:24:22 +0000 erinpye 2154627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Just never did it myself and will drive my kids in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-ride-the-bus#post-2154621 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 16:22:37 +0000 MamaG 2154621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hated riding the bus, and will try to avoid it for our kiddos. I can easily drop off and get to work on time. And they have after school programs that would allow them to stay longer until I could pick up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-ride-the-bus#post-2154578 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 16:05:19 +0000 HLK208 2154578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. We walk to school or pick up on rainy/cold days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-ride-the-bus#post-2154557 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 15:51:44 +0000 Torchwood 2154557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hopefully it will never be an issue. I got bullied mostly on the bus, so I'd prefer to skip that. But if it's what makes sense, I won't refuse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-ride-the-bus#post-2154554 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 15:50:19 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2154554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I hated riding the bus. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-ride-the-bus#post-2154550 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 15:49:18 +0000 lawbee11 2154550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think our house is too close to the elementary school to qualify for bus pickup, so we'll probably drop her off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-ride-the-bus#post-2154548 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 15:48:26 +0000 birdofafeather 2154548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i only rode the bus in kindergarten and then my parents started carpooling with other families. i think it was easier for them to organize that and the bus also wasn't free anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-ride-the-bus#post-2154545 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 15:46:31 +0000 DillonLion 2154545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe! It depends on where we live and our work schedules. I hope to be in a place where I don't have to work so much and can be free to drive her to and from, but I'm not opposed to her taking the bus. </p> <p>I did for a short period of time (9th grade) and didn't have any bad experiences. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-ride-the-bus#post-2154544 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 15:46:14 +0000 looch 2154544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Walk to school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-ride-the-bus#post-2154530 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 15:36:42 +0000 Greentea 2154530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think so! I hope to live where we can walk.</p> <p>I had the worst bus experiences growing up! Like, horrible. Being tripped and pushed and sworn at and kicked and things thrown at me and mean messages on my back. I was always the new kid whomp. Anyhow, I remember our bus ride was an hour and a half! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-your-lo-ride-the-bus#post-2154517 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 15:28:10 +0000 mediagirl 2154517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot of parents I know don't let their kids ride the bus. They all carpool. A big accident involving a bus full of elementary kids happened in front of my office the other day. I can't imagine how frightened the parents must have been. :( </p>
